            Mean To Me
(N. Finn)

Bsus4  x24452

[Verse 1]
         E       A         C#m
She came all the way from America
      A               Bsus4   B
Had a blind date with destiny
        E        A       C#m
And the sound of Te Awamutu
      Bsus4            B
Had a truly sacred ring
        A             E
Now her parents are divorced
        G#                  A
And her friend's committing suicide

[Chorus]
  B           E
I could not escape
                A
A plea from the heart
                 D           B
You know what it means to me
                     E
She said don't walk away
               A
I'm down on my knees
                   D         B
So please don't be mean to me

[Verse 2]
     E         A          C#m
So I talked to you for an hour
       A                   Bsus4   B
In the bar of a small town hotel
    E        A          C#m
You asked me what I was thinking
      Bsus4                    B
I was thinking of a padded cell
       A                 E
With a black and white T.V.
   G#                   A
To stop us from getting lonely

[Chorus]
  B           E
I could not escape
                A
A plea from the heart
                 D           B
You know what it means to me
                     E
She said don't walk away
               A
I'm down on my knees
                   D         B
So please don't be mean to me
                E
No, I could not escape
                A
A plea from the heart
           D        B
Mysterious sympathy
                      E
I couldn't wait for a chance
                A
To walk out the door
                 D           B     
You know what it means to me

[Instrumental]
C#m     A     C#m

[Bridge]
A                                      C#m
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
A                                    C#m
I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies  (about me)
A                    B
Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know

[Chorus]
            E
I could not escape
                   A
You're down on the floor
                 D           B
You know what it means to me
                      E
I couldn't wait for a chance
                A
To walk out the door
D              B
Mean ...
              E
I could not escape
                     A
You're down on your knees
                 D           B
You know what it means
                 E   A   D   B    
What it means                .... (fade)
